How it works

Four steps. We do the hard parts.

1

Tell us about your trip

Plain-language questions — a few minutes, no jargon.

2

Check the price and pay

The full price up front: government fee plus our flat service fee.

3

Add your documents

Phone photos of your passport and requirements — added after payment.

4

We check, file and track it

A specialist reviews everything; we confirm your approval by email.

What you’ll need

Just two things.

You add them after paying, in your own time. Phone camera is perfect — we email easy instructions.

Passport photo page

A sharp photo or scan of the page with your photo and details. All four corners visible, no glare — ESTA reads the machine-readable zone from it.

Selfie photo

A recent, clear photo of your face, straight on, no hat or sunglasses. US authorities require this photo with every application filed on your behalf.

Eligibility

Who needs the ESTA?

Travellers from the 40+ Visa Waiver Program countries visit the US on an ESTA; other nationalities need a US visa instead. Your eligibility is checked automatically in step 1, so you can't apply for the wrong thing.

Your information is encrypted and never shared.

Certification in progress

Applications are paused for now.

Applications are paused while our compliance certification for this destination is completed. See what’s open, or write to us with questions — we reply fast.

No embassy queue. No paper. Your approval is electronic — it travels with your passport, and the airline sees it automatically.

Common questions

Is Visafy part of the government?

No. Visafy is an independent, private visa-assistance company. We prepare, check and file your application and support you along the way. You can always apply directly with the official government service for the United States and pay only the government fee.

How long does it take?

Typical processing once we file: 1–3 working days. The application itself takes a few minutes. We recommend applying as soon as your trip is roughly planned — we file at the right moment so it’s fresh when you land.

What do I actually have to do?

Answer plain-language questions, pay, and add two documents — phone photos are perfect. A specialist reviews everything and contacts you before filing if anything needs fixing. If you get stuck, write to us and we’ll do it together.

What if something is wrong with my application?

Nothing is filed until a specialist has checked it. If something looks off, we contact you first. For what happens if an application can’t proceed, see our Refund Policy.

When will I get my ESTA?

There's nothing to print — your ESTA is electronic and the airline sees it when scanning your passport. We confirm your approval by email and keep you posted at every stage, so there's no chasing.

We are not a government authority and are not affiliated with any government.

United States opens after certification.

Applications are paused while our compliance certification for this destination is completed. Until then, nothing is charged and no application can be started for this destination.
